>>20243410What if vegans came after you, calling you a meat murderer? There isn't a word for people who don;t play golf, why did Christian invent a word for people who don't believe in any gods? Atheists just want to be be left alone, but your temple/mosque/church labeled us so it can target enemy #1.
The church also came up with anti-theist (against gods) but it prefers 'heretic' and 'blasphemer' as the actual crime name before stoning the perpetrator to death. Over the years religions have tortured, maimed and put millions to death for refusing to believe in their irrational nonsense. 50,000 women put to death for being witches in Europe. I might be going out on a limb here, but I suggest not a single one of those murder victims was actually a real witch.
Religion forces you to love some fictional entity who you fear, who can presumably smote you where you stand for disobedience. You are forced to follow blindly the commands of these gods, which somehow always benefits a small group of privileged men. Religion is a systemic exploitation crafted by the wealthy and powerful to produce lifelong slaves of formerly moral human beings. Religion tricks you into believing you can't be moral without religion. It cons you into imagining that some reward after death is superior to this one precious life you have on Earth.
Anyone can see how these immoral religious systems have done far more harm than good.
